Want to Make an Impact in Edmonton?

The George Spady Society is recruiting volunteers for its Board of Directors.

The mission of the George Spady Society is “to provide a continuum of support services to people with complex life circumstances associated with substance-related disorders, mental illness and houselessness, empowering them to improve their lives through client-centered, evidence-based best practices.” With the support of over 100 team members, the Society is a pivotal organization working towards addressing houselessness in Edmonton by offering services specifically designed for individuals experiencing houselessness with multiple barriers. To this end George Spady Society operates a detoxification centre with a safe injection site, offers a ‘housing first’ program that places and supports clients in independent housing, provides direct clinical services, operates permanent supportive housing and a palliative care site. If supporting the dynamic work of the George Spady Society speaks to you, consider applying to volunteer with the Board of Directors.
